[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 682740, member: 1550"] GN, you said what I meant so much better than me. I personally feel it is best for a girl's mental health NOT to be obsessed with looks. It is not in my opinion a good way for us to judge ourselves or others. And the social media is not the main offender. Any advertisement of real life barbie dolls, including models in magazines and in movies, have our girls thinking that outer beauty matters more than our inner qualities. And that outer beauty mean perfect features and skin and of course being stick skinny. And this CAN lead to body.dysmorphia which causes more death than any other mental illness. It is starting to afflict boys too. Not good. I tried very hard and mostly succeeded in making sure my two girls do not judge themselves or others by their looks. At ten I would have had a talk with my girl and told her how her heart meant far more than any potentially dangerous skin procedure. She is only ten. She still absorbs what you show her and tell her. Maybe get her mind on others and off her looks?? I sure wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
